Re: throughput query on 1Gbps link

Subodh,
It is something related to Adventnet reporting, but I don't know if is
a problem with the product or it is caused by Netflow.
I am experiencing the same problem where the Netflow graph on
Adventnet shows much higher values than the SNMP reporting tool on the
same interface.
